Momager knows best!
Khloé Kardashian is said to be leaning on her famous family in the aftermath of Tristan Thompson's paternity scandal. The Sacramento Kings player confirmed earlier this month that he fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. They are believed to have hooked up while he and Kardashian were still together.
An insider told People that the reality star is struggling to cope with the ordeal. "This time that he was unfaithful has been much harder than the previous times. She really wants the relationship to work and she has been devastated," the source explained.

The source added that Kardashian has been seeking support from her mom, Kris Jenner. "But Kris wants Khloé and Tristan to be in a good place so she's encouraging Khloé to keep the lines of communication open," the source added.
The former flames share their 3-year-old daughter, True Thompson.
The source explained that the Good American founder wanted a "fairytale life" with Thompson, and is upset things didn't work out. "People around her have never seen her so down and are so thankful she has her mother there who has barely left her side," the insider added.
While the 30-year-old apologized to Kardashian, it sounds like the damage has been done. In a public apology, where he confirmed he was the father of Nichols' son, he said that the Revenge Body host does not deserve the way he treated her.
As previously reported by OK!, the coparents' relationship is strained at the moment, a source spilled. The source added that while Thompson will always be part of Kardashian's family, she is done with him romantically.
The source added that Kardashian's family was disappointed in the NBA player, but want to support the 37-year-old. Meanwhile, Kardashian has been spending quality time with her family, and getting "back on her A-game" by "focusing on her mind, body and soul."
Thompson noted in his apology that he looks forward to amicably coparenting his third child with Nichols. He also shares his 5-year-old son, Prince, with ex Jordan Craig.
